System Architecture

In this article we explore how to combine a large language model (LLM) with a relational database to allow users to ask questions about their data in a natural way. It demonstrates a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system built with Go that utilizes PostgreSQL and pgvector for data storage and retrieval. The provided code showcases the core functionalities. This is an overview of how the

In a relational database, foreign keys are normally used to associate records stored in different tables, but wouldn’t it be nice to define relationships dynamically without having to add extra columns or tables? And while we’re at it, how about having sparse relationships by associating a record directly with any other record like “post X was last edited by user #123” or “post X was flagged for review by user #456” (who happens to be a moderator)?
